1644, How would I stand up against a sebring
Posted by Blk95Talon, Jul-31-02 11:12 AM
Theres this guy by me with a Sebring...I think its around a 96 or 97. Hes got a body kit on it and a cat back exhaust. I dont know if he has the 4cyl engine (420a) or the 6 cylinder but from what i read the difference is 140 for the 4, and 155 for the 6. How would i do in a race against him (both auto). Even if he has the 6cyl, the extra hp would be overcome by the added weight of his larger car right? My only performance mods are a cai. Oh, also hes got 17" chrome rims which im sure added weight. let me know how i'd do against him. If id lose would a udp give me the extra power i would need to win? (the sebring isnt a convertible by the way)

I think even with your CAI You'll lose. I got the Sebring as 163 HP and 170 torque and they only weight 2-300 more pounds (31--lbs.). That's a good amount. You'll need a few good mods. With CAI, exhaust, UDP, bored TB, and final drive mod it will be a better race.

They run 17's I believe. It'd be a close race more than likely.

i just beat a 4 cyl sebring yesterday on my way home from work. He was an auto and was reving his car in neutral the whole dam time we were at a light. I was already kinda ticked off from work so i felt like giving him a show of what the ol RS can do. I put about 4-5 cars on him by the time i hit 70 and kept it floored till 115. Im not sure how your auto will do though. It should be close but i think you should be able to pull it off in the end. If you do lose, whatever just race him again.

Alright guys, thanks. Im not gonna make a move if Im next to him, but if he revs up or does any shit, i'll give him a run. He lives down the street by the way and always drives up and down the road like 3, 4, sometimes 6 times in a row and everytime he goes by my house he revs up likes hes the shit in his grey sebring with a body kit thats been unpainted sincehe put it on 6 months ago. I think it looks like crap unpainted.

You should be able to tell if he has a 4 cyl or 6 cyl by listening to his revs when he goes by. If they sound like yours, race him, if not, spend 500 bones on some NOS, and smoke him!

I listen to him as he revs by but it sounds different since he has an exhaust on it. I held pretty even with him last night, he launched like a half sec before me and pulled ahead pretty slowly. I think if I had the final drive mod and and a udp I wouldnt have a problem showin him the letters TALON bwaaahaahaa!!
